I know that on working on a package, is common to create a precompile.jl file that calls precompile for various methods and the types they may accept as arguments, but i was thinking that the same thing could be done for macros too, so they would perform better when generating code or that doesn’t m…

[image] dylanxyz: That is exactly my doubt, if the precompilation of the macro itself would make it be faster when generating the output code, and not necessary that the output code would be faster. There’s nothing to precompile. They act before compilation.

Can macros also be precompiled?
